Now this
cleaning isn’t easy! Training pets works
only as long as your pet is fine with
it. In case of bad stomach days, you are
risking it all by just closing the doors
behind and letting your pet stay in.
Stay on alert whenever you find your
room stinking. Check your carpet and
remove the dirt as quickly as possible.
The biggest problem with accidents is
you often times don’t even know they
happen until weeks! The longer it is
left, the more it sinks into fibres and
the padding below the carpet. It is
often a good idea, not only to clean it
yourself, but also to have your cleaner
come through the area with special
attention. Use a cleaning solution that
is formulated for pet urine. Sadly,
other cleaners may not get the job done.
Discolorations of fibres is the main
damage done. Even if you remove the
odour, a stain may be the end result.
The longer it sits, the more it
deteriorates.
As with any new cleaning product, follow
the directions and test the product
first in the corner of a closet. Be sure
that you stick to the instructions
given. Still if you do not see a
difference, do not lose hope. There are
natural ways to clear the spot. White
vinegar with lukewarm water and rubbing
alcohol are two such methods that work
well. If you have any major doubts just
contact your carpet manufacturer and ask
them. They will let you know of approved
products that have been tested on their
carpets.
Removing Pet Odour
Dealing with a new puppy or an older
animal can take its toll on your carpets
and floors. The best advice out there is
to get to the stain as soon as possible.
The longer the urine sits on the carpet,
the more damages are done to the carpet
fibres. Try using a dry towel first and
press firmly against the wet areas. The
object here is to soak up as much as
possible without having to use any
water. From there use your favourite
disinfectant carpet cleaning chemical
and follow the directions on the bottle.
Even if you get to the spot right away
you may find on some hot days that odour
comes back. If this is the case chances
are you missed a spot or the urine has
penetrated into the flooring pad. When
urine penetrates into the carpet pad you
may need to call a professional to come
out and clean your carpets.
Of course with a young pet the best
thing to do is take a proactive
approach. Keep your pet on a hard
surface in the home until the pet is
potty trained. Cats are born potty
trained for the most part. Ensure you
clean their litter box often and you
should have no issue.
Removing Flees From Your Carpet
One of the most irritating situation is
to get rid of flees. Flees breed very
fast and can lay as many as 700 eggs
over their lifetime of just a week! It
is advisable to catch hold of them
before it is too late! There are flee
traps you can use but those will only
catch a fraction of the hundred or so
that are roaming your home. The best
viable solution is to call an
exterminator. But you can always attempt
it yourself by using a bug bomb that
needs to be handled with care.
Another way is to purchase a high sonic
device that human and animals cannot
hear but the ringing noise drives the
bugs crazy. Some prefer this method as
they do not have dead bugs all over to
deal with. Even if you use the sound
device, chances are that most of these
flees will still be alive and be in your
carpets!
Prevention is always better than cure.
If you have pets at home, ensure a flee
collar for all your animals. Ensure they
stay treated and are given regular
baths.
